If a rug has developed a hole, place
a piece of canvas at the .backhand
choose some coarseowool to matchnhe
prevailing colors, darning them from
underneath to the top, ’leaving little
loops on the right side. The rug will
take on a new lease of life.
Observations of Oldest Inhabitant.
One reason why the fools who used
to drive horses instead of ears had so #
few accidents was because the horses
at least had some sense. A car hasn’t

Serving His Age.

less rational.—Sir Christopher Wren.

Entailing of Estates.
The entailing of estates began In
i England in 1285. In 1534 a law was
passed breaking the entail In case of
treason. An entailed estate .must be
sold when the holder becomes bank¬
rupt. Virginia abolished entail in
1776.
Ideas of Recreation.
One ftlea of rest Is to do nothing,
another is change of occupation and
environment. Most people find it diffi¬
cult to N do nothing, and in recreation
seek complete change, thus exemplify¬

Pearl* Always Popular.
Pearls were known to the ancient*
and used by them for personal adorn¬
ment. It Is probable that they wore
pgarl necklaces. It js not definitely
known just who Was the first person
to wear one. Marfio Polo, the famous
traveler of the Middle ages, describes
the king of Malabar as wearing
around his neck a necklace made of
104 large pearls and rubies.

Chayote From Central America
Now Grown in U. S.
Is Related to Cucumber and Squash—
Provides Excellent Fall and Early
Winter Vegetable.
Among the plant immigrants to this
country from Central America, the
chayote promises to be one of the most
. satisfactory for use In the mild-win
tered regions of the South Atlantic and
Gulf Coast states and parts of Califor¬
nia. The frulfs and tubers of the
chayote were among the principal
foods of the Aztecs, Mayas and other
peoples previous-to the Spanish con¬
quest of Mexico and Central America,
and the vine today Is one of the prin¬
cipal food plants of the Inhabitants of
these regions, where it occupies the po¬
sition hortlculturally that th.e potato
does in more northern districts. The
chayote 5ns been grown for more than
a generation in restricted areas of the
South, where it has been known vari¬
ously as vegetable pear, mirlfton, and
mango squash.
The chayote Is related to the cucum¬
ber and squash, although the fruits are
not similar, ranging in color from dark
green to ivory white and in size from
those weighing a few ounces to fruits
two pounds or tnore in weight There
are also wide variations among the
chayotes as to surface and shape. In
the South the ch&yote provides an ex
eel lent fall and early winter table
vegetable, the period of fruiting ex¬
tending from early October until
frost. Owing to its vigorous growth
and prolific yield, a single vine in the
garden or yard will produce more than
enough chayotes for the average fam¬
ily under favorable soil and climate
conditions.
Although the chayote Is used here
chiefly as a vegetable, It also lends It¬
self to use as a forage Crop, an orna
t mental vine, for greens, for producing
blanched shoots which are used like
asparagus tips, and as a straw which
Is used In making extra quality orna¬
mental baskets, hats and other arti¬
cles. In preparing chayotes for the
table they are usually cut crosswise
into thick slices, pared, and boiled un¬
til tender in just enough salted water
to cook them. —"They may then be
creamed or buttered and served. Be¬
cause of Its delicate texture and mild
flavor the chayote is especially desir¬
able for use in salads. It is prepared
as above described, cooled, and then
served on lettuce leaves with mayon¬
naise or French dressing.
Makes Remarkable Discoveries.
The mechanical eye of the aviator’s
camera is adding materially to out
knowledge of prehistoric man. Primi¬
tive disturbances of the soli may have
disappeared so completely as to leave,
no trace whatever on the surface, and
yet are plainly visible from an airship.
The so-called “Avenue,” leading from
the famous monuments of Stonehenge,
near Salisbury, England, has now been
traced as far as the River Avon by
means of aerial photographs and later
verifications made, by pedestrlaris. It
is now believed that the stones were
taken from the Prescelly hills in Pem¬
brokeshire and brought by sea up the
River Avon to a point near Stone¬
henge, where they were taken over¬
land to Stonehenge by means of a new¬
ly discovered avenue which follows
the gentlest slopes up from the river.

A story about Mrs. Bartoq_ French,
the autocratic society leader of New
York, comes from the Riviera.
A multimillionaire succeeded in get¬
ting himself presented to Mrs. French
one day at Clro’l in Monte Carlo, but
she never recognized him thereafter.
This annoyed the multimillionaire
very much, and he got a young lady
to intercede for him.

young lady’s intercession—“the man

Amen’s gem-studded sandals of pure
gold were by no means unique; qn the
contrary, they were merely fair sam¬
ple* of the kind of footgear every
Egyptian king spotted as a matter of
course, and the nobles of Egypt, Baby¬

and Etruria Indulged themselves with
all the adornments their artisans
could produce, as far as they could
afford them.

Can't Be Made to Work.
A good ipany so-called perpetual

and the patent office records dlsclost

with all of them is the same: the facl
that they do not work, Scientists
ha^e shown that perpetual motion ii
an impossibility and Inventors art
wasting their time and energy by at
tempting to produce such a machlnt
